# Bottle-Cutting De-Corkers The Menu Champagne Sabre Equips You to Decapitate Rather Than Corkscrew By Amelia Roblin | Published 2014-03-08 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/menu-champagne-sabre References: [betterlivingthroughdesign](http://www.betterlivingthroughdesign.com/accessories/champagne-sabre/) & [karimrashid](http://www.karimrashid.com) If you're not brave enough to execute the high-pressure popping of a [bubbly bottle's cork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simon-porte-jacquemus), then you may not want to give this Menu Champagne Sabre a go. The elegant-looking device requires some graceful and forceful technique to operate; however, it surely would impress just about everyone when demonstrated. Designed by Karim Rashid, the alcohol-accessing implement is even larger than the bottle it opens. You hold it securely in one hand with the other grasping the vessel, proceeding to complete a swift slicing motion to sever the weak glass neck. The [stainless steel material](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/davi-can) of the Menu Champagne Saber is strong enough the cleanly separate the top from the body, producing a perfect spout for pouring a [celebratory drink](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mumm-cordon-rouge).
